During a Postnatal breastfeeding consultation we can:

• Identify and explore any issues you may be experiencing
• Assess the latch and attachment
• Devise a care plan in consultation with you, to help you achieve your feeding goals. Take a detailed history of your pregnancy, birth, and aftercare. Also, baby’s medical & feeding history since birth will be recorded. 
• Assessment of your baby, your breasts and a breastfeed.
• Tongue Tie assessment: Carry out an oral assessment & assess tongue function. Refer on to Tongue Tie Practitioner if required
• Nipple issues
• Low supply & over supply
• Prematurity and immature/uncoordinated suck reflex
• Discuss combination feeding/paced feeding 

Katie will advise on pumping and milk storage, what to expect in the early days/weeks & what is normal Newborn behaviour. Katie will offer reassurance and answer all those niggling questions you may have. Katie will always give evidence-based education with regard to breastfeeding. At the end of your postnatal home consultation, you will be equipped with the knowledge, confidence and a personal plan to give you the best possible start to achieve your feeding goals
